2.  Observe something and Ask a question
For example: I might see a dog
walking home from school. I might ask, “
Why is that dog so skinny?”

3.  A hypothesis is an educated guess.
For example: The dog is so skinny
because it only eats three times a week.

4.  The scientist is going to gather
information, do research, and collect
data for his or her hypothesis.
For example: I would gather information on how often dogs
should eat and study the dog I saw walking home and keep
a chart on how often it eats.

5.  Scientist will take data and start comparing and contrasting
and making observations from the information gathered or the
experiment that was performed.
For example: After studying the dog for two weeks, I will look at
my information and make an observation.
 The results will either prove the scientists hypothesis or it will
not prove the scientists hypothesis.

6.  After the scientists makes
observations, he or she will come to a
conclusion. This may cause him or her to
ask another question. Which may lead to
another experiment.
For example:
The dog doesn’t
eat on a regular
schedule. Its owner
forgets to feed it.

7. 1. Make an observation at home.
2. Ask a question about that observation.
3. Form a hypothesis.

8.  Tomorrow we will do an experiment with
M&M’s.
 You and partner will use the scientific
method
 Friday, August 12- there will be a quiz on
the Scientific method. What are the
steps in order?

9.  Get in your group and discuss and write out
the steps without looking. (3 minutes)
 How can your group act out the step your
assigned of the method?
 You get 10 minutes to come up with a way
to act out your step.
 All groups will act out their steps in order.
 All members must be involved.
 Each group will make a sign for their step.

10.  Each group will be assigned a step of the
scientific method.
 Each group will make a poster for their step.
 The poster must have the step as the title.
 The pictures must explain the step.
 There must be a brief description on what
takes place during this step.
 Poster must be neat, organized, and
colorful.
 You have just one hour to complete this
poster.
